visual studio code - How to downgrade vscode

Question

I am experiencing a problem with debugging in vscode just after the last update. There's something going on (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45657)

I'd like to check the previous version to see if my case is a problem here or in vscode but I can not find instructions on how to downgrade (I suppose it's possible)
